He insists that he is owed overtime pay for the remaining 450 hours. During school holiday periods, EDS also hires high school students (aged 14 and older) to assist in processing orders at its two national distribution centers. EDS does not allow the students to work more than 6 hours per day or more than 36 hours per week, and they may not work with the mechanical sorting equipment. The students are paid minimum wage, and the job is advertised as a “paid internship.” The local high school complains that students who work at EDS over school holidays are returning exhausted, and that no one under age 16 should be permitted to work there. Renee, a scheduling manager for EDS, worked an average of 50 hours per week last year.

When we retire, most of us will lose what has become a comforting fact of life: a steady paycheck deposited directly into our bank accounts, whether every week, every two weeks, or every month. However, we will still need to pay most of the same bills we've always paid, not to mention going shopping for food, clothing, and entertainment. How can we replace that paycheck? If we are fortunate, we may have a pension through our employer, via a defined benefit retirement plan. In these kinds of plans, throughout the course of our working life, we contribute a certain percentage of our earnings on a regular basis into our company's general pension fund, and when we retire, we are guaranteed a monthly payment for life, with the amount of that payment calculated based on various factors such as our age at retirement, our pre-retirement salary, and other factors.
Misunderstandings One mistunderdtanding I recently had in the workplace was scheduling a client to come in for a review. I normally work 7 days a week being a new business owner so I'm available on Saturdays for a little while and I made the mistake of telling a new client to come in next Saturday at noon and we could do their review. I believe this was on a Wednesday and I was implying next Saturday as in only a few days away. The next client took it as the second Saturday which was a week and a half out. • the sender of the message was myself • the receiver was my client • the message was "come in next Saturday at noon for your review" • face-to-face communication was the channel • the misunderstanding that occurred was the client came in a week later than I anticipated so I missed the meeting because I was out to lunch with my daughter • the misunderstanding could have been avoided if I would have specified a date on a calander instead of just mentioning the day of the week From taking a closer look at my first misunderstanding I was able to gather that it is very important in communication to verify the message and make sure it is u doers todo before just assuming.
By keeping those informed you may be able to get extra help or resources to solve the problem. If the problem is due to broken equipment, try and use equipment in a different area of the company instead, or outsource the work. If the conflict is because of staff workload, try to reallocate the work to ensure it is fair, and seen to be fair, an emergency may mean that the current staff are not able to complete the task, see if there are other staff who can help out with the task. Explain the purpose and benefits of keeping other people informed about progress Keeping those concerned up to date, allows everyone to know what stage the task is at, if there are any problems or issues that need to be resolved. If others are working on the same project, they need to know any deadlines or changes to the deadline, so that they can prepare and plan for their part of the task.
The healthcare facilitiy where I work is busiest during morning hours earlier in the work week. L ater in the work week, usually on Thursdays and Fridays the staff prepares for the upcoming work week by tracking our busiest hours, and doing what we can allow for more time for direct patient care. We make sure supplies are stocked, order additional supplies, access staffing needs, and sometimes even plan potluck lunches so we do not have to leave the facility for lunches during those critical hours. There are several methods of improving productivity that may seem like small measures but save time and money. By observing productive and non-productive time a manager can reasses staffing on an hourly, weekly, quarterly, or annual basis, minimizing cost for the facility.
Smith is preparing his quarterly budget report, which will be presented at the Southeast regional meeting in the following week. He is very concerned about adding capital expense to the operation, to meet the demands of current customers, when business has not increased appreciably.
